Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An anti-graft agency--EFCC--arrested an artist--Naira Marley--in Nigeria recently for his public support for internet fraud--a menace which Nigerians (especially internationally) are known for. He postulated reasons why defrauding westerners is justified, with some Nigerians even agreeing with him that the government's corruption and failings of the youth as regards lack of employment is a contributory factor. Some thus thought his arrest flouts the artist's freedom of expression, however, the anti-graft agency charged the artist with some cyber-crimes, thereby revoking the thoughts that the artist's arrest was merely a flout of his right to freedom of expression. This article provides an opinion from the legal lens on the attitude of the artist and the anti-graft agency. It reasoned that yes, the artist's right to freedom of expression was violated, that there is a difference between law and morality, and especially dismantling the anti-graft's ludicrous 11 count charges, and tagging it as “any prosecutor's nightmare”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While this article sets out to advance our knowledge about the characteristics of Nigerian cybercriminals (Yahoo-Boys), it is also the first study to explore the narratives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) officers concerning them. It appraises symbolic interactionist insights to consider the ways in which contextual factors and worldview may help to illuminate officers' narratives of cybercriminals and the interpretations and implications of such accounts. Semi-structured interviews of forty frontline EFCC officers formed the empirical basis of this study and were subjected to a directed approach of qualitative content analysis. While prior studies, for example, indicated that only a group of cybercriminals deploy spiritual and magical powers to defraud victims (i.e. modus operandi), our data analysis extended this classification into more refined levels involving multiple features. In particular, analysis bifurcates cybercriminals and their operations based on three factors: educational-attainment, modus-operandi, and networks-collaborators. Results also suggest that these cybercriminals and their operations are embedded in “masculinity-and-material-wealth”. These contributions thus have implications for a range of generally accepted viewpoints about these cybercriminals previously taken-for-granted. Since these criminals have victims all over the world, insights from our study may help various local and international agencies [a] to understand the actions/features of these two groups of cybercriminals better and develop more effective response strategies. [b] to understand the vulnerabilities of their victims better and develop more adequate support schemes. We also consider the limitations of social control agents' narratives on criminals.

Download or read book Corruption and Development in Nigeria written by Ọláyínká Àkànle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-28 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite being Africa’s largest economy and most populous country, with abundant natural resources, Nigeria still faces substantial development challenges. This book argues that corruption lies at the heart of many of the country’s problems. Drawing on a range of different disciplinary perspectives, this volume explores the relationship between corruption and development, investigating the causes, contexts, and consequences of corruption, and the pathways for addressing it. As well as covering the wider background and theory surrounding corruption in the country, the book will investigate different sectors: the media, the judiciary, the health sector, industry, the criminal justice system, and of course politics and governance. The book concludes by considering attitudes and perceptions to corruption within Nigeria, current approaches to countering corruption, and future pathways to addressing the problem. This book’s critical investigation of the links between corruption and development in Nigeria will be of interest to researchers of corruption, development and African Studies, as well as to policy makers, practitioners, and local stakeholders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study sets out to determine the effect of money laundering (proxy by fraud) on the Nigerian economy (decomposed into gross domestic product, federal government revenue, gross fixed capital formation). Ex-post facto research design was adopted. Secondary data were used in this study from Ministry of Finance, Budget office of the Federation and Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin. The Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) was used to test the time series data for stationarity. The co-efficient of regression was used to determine the significance of the relationship and direction of the variables used in the study. The result revealed that money laundering has a negative significant relationship with the Nigerian economy at 5% level of significance. The study recommends that there is need to re-appraise the re-established institutions (such as economic and financial crimes commission and independent corrupt practices and other related offences commission) fighting economic crimes particularly, their statutory functions.
Download or read book Authority Stealing written by Wale Adebanwi and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The post-Cold War world has produced a global consensus on the devastation caused by corruption in society. However, in spite of the growing awareness of the danger that corruption constitutes to democracy and development, and the growing number of anti-corruption agencies in Africa in the last decade, there is yet no elaborate scholarly focus on these agencies, most of which were created in the wake of the recent expansion of multi-party democracy in Africa. As a corrective to this, Authority Stealing chronicles the story of Nuhu Ribadu, arguably Africa''s most courageous and most successful anti-corruption Czar and former head of Nigeria''s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The book places the anti-graft exploits of Ribadu in post-military Nigeria on a larger canvass of the crisis of nationhood in a country in which public office is regarded as an ''eatery.'' This revealing and riveting narrative of one of Africa''s biggest cesspools of graft explains how the systemic or structural crisis which reproduces a thieving ruling class in a typical postcolonial state has pushed a country with an abundance of human and material resources to the bottom of the global human development index. This crisis has also led to the phenomenon of the advance-fee fraud, otherwise known globally as ''Nigerian 419'' or ''Nigerian Scam.'' While focusing on the era of democracy in Nigeria, the book uses biographical, structural and historical perspectives covering fifty years of Nigeria''s existence, illuminating the paradoxes of anti-corruption campaign in Africa. This book, which is based on ethnographic and archival materials, supplemented with interviews with key dramatis personae, will appeal to a variety of audiences and disciplines, including Africanists, anthropologists, political scientists, sociologists, historians, economists, policy makers, international development experts, criminologists and investigators of international crime syndicates, global anti-graft agencies and activists, and lay readers interested in the issue of corruption around the world. This book is part of the African World Series, edited by Toyin Falola, Jacob and Frances Sanger Mossiker Chair in the Humanities, University of Texas at Austin. "The reader will find him or herself ... cringing at the extent of debauchery that has enveloped Africa''s most populous state. Adebanwi''s writing appears most fluent and concise when he tackles head-on the corrosive nature of political decadence and corruption, and the multifaceted vision employed by [Nuhu] Ribadu and his contemporaries at the EFCC to rid the nation of this cancer.... [A] salient document depicting an important crusader for justice..." -- Professor Chinua Achebe, author of Things Fall Apart, and David and Marianna Fisher University Professor, Brown University "An excellent, richly detailed source for readers with little knowledge of--but great interest in--the micro-underpinnings of the more visible macro-phenomenon of prebendal politics in Nigeria over the last decade, drawn primarily upon local media reporting and interviews with principals." -- African Studies Review "Will the cesspools of corruption in Nigeria be forever drained and will this great nation discover a path to democratic prosperity? That is the question which confronts us on almost every page of Adebanwi''s searing exposé." -- Richard Joseph, John Evans Professor of International History and Politics, Northwestern University "Authority Stealing documents how discovering, documenting, publicizing, and gesturing at eradicating corruption have constituted the most common methods with which regimes have been compromised, and regime changes have been justified, in Nigeria since independence. When Adebanwi concludes that corruption seems to have become a key instrument of state policy in Nigeria, he cannot be faulted. This book provides the evidence to theorize corruption discourse as the main instrument with which Nigerian rulers invent legitimacy, induce consent from the governed, nurture public goodwill, and sustain continuation. Governance in Nigeria thrives on corruption!" -- Adeleke Adeeko, Humanities Distinguished Professor, The Ohio State University "Readers will be rewarded with a thorough education in the personalities, practices, and political culture that allow billions of dollars of Nigerian state revenues to disappear every year." -- Foreign Affairs "Wale Adebanwi has written an important and illuminating account of Nigeria''s anti-corruption war during Nuhu Ribadu''s courageous leadership of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) ... Adebanwi is good at navigating the thickets of conflicting information that emanated from each high-profile corruption case." -- Journal of Modern African Studies

This book was released on 2015-04-21 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corruption in Nigeria has reached an alarming proportion with the result that successive governments have made efforts at reducing the scourge. One of such modest efforts was the establishment of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. The study examined the challenges of EFCC in its fight against Nigerians involved in financial crimes. The main objective of this study is to examine the challenges of EFCC in combating corruption in Nigeria. The study adopted the survey method using a sample size of 353 respondents, calculated using Yamane formula. The interview methods were adopted for some EFCC field officers and residents of four metropolis selected through lucky dip to sample their opinion on how well EFCC was doing. The Chi-square analytical technique was used in testing the hypothesis. The findings of the study reveals that the EFCC is saddled with the problem of inadequacy of funds coupled with political interference and absence of autonomy. The study recommends amongst others that EFCC should be adequately funded and that EFCC must be given a freehand to operate.
